Stay at Home Chaos

Tim’s going to Cirque du Soleil tonight. I had a ticket too, but as much as I want to, I’m not going. I will be seeing Alice in Wonderland instead sometime this weekend or next week. Tim’s going with some guy friend instead. In the meantime, I get all the kids to myself until Tim comes home late tonight. I bought some green beans yesterday, so I can have some tonight. Yum!

I went to the OB/GYN yesterday for my 6 week check-up and learned I lost 31 pounds. Then someone explain to me why my pants still don’t fit. My blood pressure is down. It was hovering at 120/70 which is high for me, where it typically stays at 110/60. It was 102/60 this time. My cycle has yet to show up, although I’ve been given permission to continue regular activities. My doctor also commented that it’s ‘up to my husband’ to keep me from becoming pregnant because of my moral views on hormonal birth control. He also believes he’ll see me pregnant again. All I need is one nice pregnancy scare, and that’ll get Tim to make himself an appointment to get him taken care of. In comparison, he’d need 2 days recovery time whereas I’d need a month. Considering I have a physically active job, where he has a desk job, there is no argument which one needs done. I have the three kids I’ve always wanted, so I’m done. Unless my first accidental pregnancy actually comes my way.

I started this post an hour ago. I’ve already made and ate dinner. Evie has given Ory all of her green beans. Ory is almost done eating, and Evie is still trying to figure out how to cut up her food by herself, after being offended that I try to do it for her. Ory bypassed all cutting up and is picking up food with his bare hands and eating it that way. Evie is officially done with dinner and wants to watch the Gummi Bears, which she calls “Bubby Beary Juice.” Her favorite juice is Apple, by the way. Ory can drink from a cup, although you can’t trust him not to spill it on purpose yet.
